Can Arctic Silver be CONDUCTIVE ???

I got some of the of the nice stuff on the wires that connect the cache, on a classic Athlon, to its pc board. Its crammed in there and a Q-tip doesnt get it all out. Can this cause damage from a short circut or bridging ???

Also: This one is a Classic 600 0.25 Micron. I'm using the "Tweaking Device". Having bad luck so far...will I ever get anywhere with the 1/2 speed level 2 ???

It contains silver, but in oxidized form. Luckily for you, silver-oxide is non-conductive According to the manufacturer, Artic Silver isn't conductive and can be used in close proximity to electronics without fear of squishing a little bit out onto them.

Thanx, I will try the toothbrush...seems logical. I was actually using a Q-Tip to wipe it off on the edge of the cache when I accidently "Smeared" it in to the "Centipede Legs".

Its been an experience. The stock unit wouldn't cool it and the new GORB wouldn't fit. I drilled new holes and mounted it up somewhat so it cleared the power connector and stuck 2 extra fans on it. Its cool now, but the errors are constant at stock speed.
